Mr. SPEAKER-ELECT,

The Lords, authorised by virtue of His Majesty's Commissioners, desire the immediate attendance of this Honourable House in the House of Peers.

Accordingly, Mr. Speaker-Elect, with the House, went up to the House of Peers, where he was presented to the said Lords Commissioners for His Majesty's Royal approbation.

Then the Lord Chancellor (Viscount Cave), one of the said Lords Commissioners, signified His Majesty's approbation of Mr. Speaker-Elect.

The House, having returned,

Mr. SPEAKER: I have to report to the House that, in the House of Peers, His Majesty, by his Royal Commissioners, has been pleased to approve the choice made of myself for the Office of your Speaker, and that I have, in your name, and on your behalf, laid claim, by humble Petition to His Majesty, to all your ancient and undoubted rights and privileges, particularly freedom of speech in Debate, freedom from arrest, freedom of access to His Majesty whenever occasion may require, and that the most favourable construction may be placed upon all your proceedings. All these His Majesty, by his Commissioners, has been pleased to allow and confirm in as ample a manner as they have ever been granted or confirmed by himself or any of his Royal predecessors.
My first duty to the House is to repeat my very respectful acknowledgment and grateful thanks for the great honour which they have conferred upon me in placing me again in the Chair.
I must now call upon the Members of the House, according to the usual custom, to
take the Oath of Allegiance at the Table of the House, first doing so myself.

Mr. Speaker first, alone, standing upon the upper step of the Chair, subscribed the Oath, and signed the Roll.

Members will observe, from the cards that I have caused to be placed about the House, what I think will be for the convenience of Members in taking the Oath, so as to avoid any standing about, or pressing at the Table.
